Thankful Thursday * the gift of protection
Perfect topic today
Thank you Laurie for hosting
Miss Golden Eyes my little Dove came home happy.
She played with the camera as you can see.
Too Cute!
She had a good day, not thrilled that she had to talk with the principle but satisfied so far with the outcome.
The bully absent of course the easiest way to try get away with it.
After a nice relaxing hour I started in on the Living Room
Almost finished the tree, my knee is hindering me from being on the ladder.
I will try to get some help with the top part of the tree from Steve later.
Several ornaments the kids put on could use a little fixing but that is done little by little to protect their creative heart.
If I tinker with what they did it would not be a good example of acceptance.
Yesterday the bows and ribbons on the packages were completed.
Today I was able to get the lights on the lower part of the tree.
This year I was able to find new clothing the children needed at a greatly reduced cost.
Many of the packages are just that.
I just put one item in each box to make more packages to open.
We also got new bedding for them.
Few toys at all just one major gift for them to share.
TBA later
The cresch set up on the center now.
Using batting I had the snow capped mantle of sorts was created to give a more holiday feel.
It was such a day of joy for me to have stood for my children at the school.
To see all the bounty of Christmas we have been able to come up with for them blesses my soul.
The gifts under the tree were things that they needed.
It is my hope that by receiving them in this way that gratitude will be instilled within their hearts.
Many Children just take for granted having nice clothing or linens.
They will not be left disappointed, the big gift they will share will bring the family together.
Well now that the living room is so beautiful, the kitchen and hall is a mess!
like a big balloon getting squeezed
Ha!

Gosh, that Dove has such beautiful eyes! does Dash have the same eyes?? What a pretty tree, we arent putting ours up this year, we just moved and I'm trying and I think I'm done of getting my house in order, but like Denise said, "It's not about the decor in our home, its the warmth in our hearts" and thats so true, the warmth in our hearts, I like that, like your heart warm and caring, when I read what that other child did to Dove it made me so sad and mad, they use to do awful stuff like that to my Amanda when we moved to this new neighbor hood and she went to school with some upper class kids, man I was down at that school, we're so much alike when it comes to our babes, and I'm still all over people when they've been disrespectful to my children, Momma says to let them learn on their own, not as long as I'm alive, I will be that MOMMA BEAR, protecting what God gave me!!
I LOVE YOU~
Hugs to all
